MPs have shown their defiance by pressing ahead with constituency advice surgeries following the death of their parliamentary colleague Jo Cox.
Politicians at Westminster have been advised to contact police about their security in the wake of the deadly attack on the Labour MP for Batley and Spen.
David Cameron, Jeremy Corbyn and John Bercow joined together to pay tribute to the Labour MP during a visit to her constituency.
The 41-year-old mother-of-two was shot, stabbed and kicked in the street following a constituency surgery in Birstall, West Yorkshire.
Rachel Reeves, Labour MP for Leeds West, told Sky News: "The cornerstone of our democracy is that relationship between an MP and their constituents.
"We are there not to serve our own interests but to serve the interests of the people who sent us to Parliament. Jo felt that very keenly.
"An MP could not do their job if they locked themselves up in their office in Westminster.
The actions of one individual, however violent and extreme they are, mustn't drive a wedge between MPs and their constituents.
am also determined, and I know that Jo would want this, that we continue to do the work that we were elected by our constituents to do and that is to serve them.
"You can't serve unless you are a part of that community."
Dan Jarvis, Labour MP for Barnsley Central, said: "I know MPs are scared. We'll be reviewing our security, but I'll walk through Barnsley today like every Friday."
Fellow Labour MP Jonathan Reynolds, who represents Stalybridge and Hyde, said: "I plan to keep to all my engagements today, including my surgery. I will ensure there is security present however."
Meanwhile, Downing Street has said the Conservative Party will not contest the by-election in Batley and Spen resulting from the death of Labour MP Jo Cox.
Cox was attacked by a man reportedly shouting "Britain first" or "put Britain first" at lunchtime on Thursday.
The alleged gunman arrested close to the scene has been named as Tommy Mair, 52.
:: Adam Boulton will present a Sky News Tonight special programme on Jo Cox at 7pm tonight.
